Chapter 1143 Zhou Taidong entered the sea to fight

Five large floating islands form a hollow plum blossom-shaped formation on the sea, sailing unhurriedly, while several fleets are cruising around the periphery, cleaning up the surrounding sea monsters or salvaging treasure chests on the sea, and above the mainmast of these warships, the big Han flag with a red dragon on a black background is fluttering in the wind.

This is where Zhou Tai's eastward support is located, and on the periphery of this core support force, there is also a large fleet in action, Zhou Tai's purpose is to seek to annihilate the enemy's living forces at sea, and at the same time, this floating island fleet will go to the sea on the west side of the Han Territory on the Antaigre Continent, and become the chapter of the Han Territory's maritime protection force.

"Lord Governor, the third detachment of our army has encountered the enemy's fleet, the size of which is four thousand, and it is retreating in the direction of due north."

"Very well, order them to lead the enemy forces away, order the First and Second Fleets to turn around and besiege this fleet1

"No1

"The reconnaissance detachment closely monitors the surroundings of the enemy fleet, and in addition, it will send a small detachment to search the sea area for 200 miles to see if the enemy has a logistics fleet or floating islands to follow."

In terms of actual tactics, in fact, Zhou Tai and the navy of the Hammer of the God of War are the same, once they find the opponent's fleet, they have to find ways to eat it, and then look for possible logistical support behind.

When Zhou Tai set off, there were only three floating islands, and the other two were snatched from the enemy, and Zhou Tai himself was raided by a large enemy fleet, but at the critical moment, Zhou Tai used the Fountain of Mist to reverse the situation, and then the main fleet that he rushed back took the opportunity to annihilate the fleet with a size of more than 5,000, and picked up a floating island by the way.

This time, they encountered thousands of enemy troops. Obviously, there were enemy legions operating around, and although the range of the sea was amazing, when Zhou Tai's route was exposed by successive battles. The Hammer of the God of War should have been able to roughly judge Zhou Tai's movements, so it is not surprising to search and contain them in front.

As a result, Zhou Tai had to make a wide range of detours and evade the siege of the other party, using mobility to find opportunities to destroy the enemy, which also caused Zhou Tai to delay in reaching the predetermined sea area to provide protection for the Han Ling.

After the Battle of Miran, the Han Territory faced more pressure on the sea and in the coastal areas, however. Zhou Tai's actions had greatly reduced the pressure on the Han Ling, and Zhou Tai's presence forced the navy of the Hammer of War to devote most of its energy to searching for and attacking the Han army's maritime power.

"Lord Governor, discover the enemy's support fleet. Scale 1,000, two floating islands 1

"Report the position, the team accelerates, and the floating island follows! The reconnaissance fleet was ordered to retreat to the north. ”

"No1

When Zhou Tai's reconnaissance fleet discovered the Hammer of War's Sixth Fleet. The ships of the Han army were also discovered by the outer reconnaissance ships of the Sixth Fleet. The Han army then took the initiative to attack a small number of enemy reconnaissance ships, and then sent Pegasus to reconnoiter and retreat north.

"Damn, that's fast."

"General, the speed of the floating island is dragging its feet, it is better to let the fleet chase first, and the floating island will follow 1

"This won't work! Although the enemy retreated to the north, which was consistent with the target location discovered by the main fleet before, it was difficult to guarantee that the enemy army deliberately did this to paralyze us. Ordered the fleet and the floating islands to maintain speed to the north, and at the same time to the west flank. In particular, reconnaissance units were sent to the north-west. ”

"Yes 1

After a few hours, both sides could only guess each other's positions, so neither was sure where the other was located, and the reconnaissance ships of the Sixth Fleet of the Antagre Fleet of the Hammer of War did not find any signs of enemy activity on the west and northwest flanks.

Not long ago, the news that the main fleet had been attacked by the Han army had already arrived, but the distance from the battlefield was more than a day's journey, so the commander of the Sixth Fleet believed that it was probably the battlefield patrol fleet sent by the other side in advance, not the reconnaissance fleet of the enemy's headquarters, and as for the enemy's main team, it was very likely that it was on the west or northwest side of the battlefield.

As a result, the headquarters of the Sixth Fleet hastened to the battlefield.

Zhou Tai's main fleet and the main force of the Sixth Fleet were entangled together, the number of both sides was similar, and the combat capability was slightly superior to that of the Han army, which gave full play to the advantage of mobility and constantly used the excellent cooperation of several fleets to attack the enemy in turn on the periphery.

The commander of the Sixth Fleet did not dare to divide his forces, because the previous battle examples showed that the division of troops was likely to be broken by the opponent's concentrated superior forces, and the other side had an advantage in the control of the fleet, so it was often able to show higher speed and efficiency in battle.

Therefore, the goal of the Sixth Fleet is to bite the main force of the Han army tightly, and then call on other detachments to come and besiege it, there is no need to rely on its own strength to defeat the enemy forces in front of it.

The Han army also seemed to understand this, so they kept it on the periphery, actively attacking in turns, trying to find a flaw in the Sixth Fleet in the movement war, and then break up the Sixth Fleet in one fell swoop and annihilate it. It's a pity that the commander of the Sixth Fleet is a very calm veteran, who always maintains the formation very well, and is very patient to entangle with the Han army.

"Order the main fleet to retreat in a southwestern direction."

"Dudu, the battle has only just begun, and our army has the upper hand, why do you suddenly retreat?"

"By the time my order reached the battlefield, several hours had passed, and the enemy reinforcements were definitely coming from the north and south, and they would be surrounded by the other side if they didn't leave.1

"Oh, what about our own team?"

"If my estimation is correct, the enemy's support team, which is now fighting with the main force of our army, should be within less than half a day's range of our northeast direction, and if the main force of our army moves south, the enemy will also change course, and we will now turn to the north-east, and it is estimated that we will encounter it in four or five hours, when it is exactly dark, so that it is convenient for our army to raid.1

"I see, Lord Governor is very calculating.1

"Hehe, it's calculated by the General Staff, it has nothing to do with me, okay, go and pass the order 1

"No1

The sixth ship is a hat, and the slang is willing to be a man, and the slang is willing to be a man, and the slang is a man. p> So when the scout ships of both sides come into contact with each other. It's not dark yet.

"The fleet is heading to the northwest, full sail full speed 1 Zhou Tai no longer hesitated at this time, and rushed towards the enemy at full speed

"The fleet of the Han army? What about the scale? ”

"Between two thousand and three thousand1

"How is that possible? How can it appear in the southeast direction of us. This is not possible, unless the Han army has two large fleets in action1

"But, General, this is the truth, what now? Fighting? ”

"Fighting? In front of the floating island, the enemy formation was broken away, and the fleet then flanked 1

"Yes 1

"Order all the flying units on the floating islands to participate in the battle. Give free attack command 1

"Yes 1

"Governor, the enemy army is using the floating island as a striker, and it is facing our army! Is it to flank the enemy from both sides? ”

"Nope. That's exactly what they want us to do, to use the flying forces on the floating islands to pin down our troops, and then attack from both sides, and order the fleet to bypass the floating islands from the west. Then pull away to the west. Booby trap the opposing team's flying unit 1

"No1

Sure enough, when Zhou Tai's fleet made a move to the west, a large number of flying troops rushed towards Zhou Tai's fleet, and at the same time, the enemy fleet also rushed out from behind the floating island, wanting to attack Zhou Tai's fleet together.

Zhou Tai had already prepared, and when the enemy's flying units took off, Zhou Tai's fleet was slightly biased to the west. As the flying unit approached, Zhou Tai's subordinates accelerated their turn. While luring the enemy's flying units out of the command distance, organize the ship's heavy and giant crossbows to attack the air.

When the enemy's fleet approached, and the flying forces in the sky were almost wiped out, Zhou Tai's fleet immediately turned around and turned around, and the fleet of Hui Fu was in a mess.

In the middle of the night, the headquarters of the Sixth Fleet's escort fleet was completely wiped out, Zhou Tai lost about 400 ships, but there were more than 600 captured ships, while letting the fleet salvage the soldiers who fell into the water, Zhou Tai himself led the team to storm the floating islands, because the enemy lost the flight troops, Zhou Tai's battle was relatively simple, and when the floating islands that were behind for most of the day caught up, the two floating islands of the Sixth Fleet of the Hammer of the God of War had fallen into the hands of Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai then turned his course and headed west to join his main force.

After the Sixth Fleet lost contact with its own team, it immediately realized that something was wrong, turned around and retreated north, Zhou Tai's fleet pursued for a long time, and after destroying about five or six hundred ships of the Sixth Fleet, it turned back and headed south, and after joining Zhou Tai, it headed southeast, preparing to meet the enemy's Fifth Fleet

"After the Han navy ended this battle, the fleet suffered certain losses and should retreat to the west, widening the distance and repairing."

"Are you sure that the Sixth Fleet's battle report has no moisture? Destroyed more than 3,000 enemy ships in two wars? Is this number really credible? ”

"This"

"According to the battle report of the main force of the Sixth Fleet, they have been fighting with the enemy, and the enemy has taken the initiative to attack, and they have lost more than a thousand themselves, how can the enemy lose equally? It should be smaller! There is also the battle of the headquarters, and it is unlikely that it will destroy thousands of enemy ships. ”

"This is just your speculation, general, according to the analysis of the battle report, it is completely different, so the general prefers to believe his own speculation?"

"Damn! I do not know! But if the strength of the Han army is not damaged, it is likely to come to ambush our army! I am not at all surprised if the enemy suddenly appears in front of the main forces of our army1

"Probably not1

"Report! Enemy reconnaissance ship 1 was found in the northwest in reverse

"Northwest, what about the distance?"

"Thirty nautical miles! Location is here 1

"Unfortunately, my suspicion has been confirmed, the enemy is coming towards us, meet or retreat?"

"General, we can't retreat, if we lose these four floating islands and a large number of marines, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain to the above, so, even if we know that it is a failure, we must face it1

"Alright! Let the damned reinforcements come and join at once, and all our fleets will abandon the floating islands and retreat at full speed east1

"General 1

"Lure the enemy deeper, don't you understand!?" To be continued...
